BROOKLINE, MA — Brookline Police arrested a teen last night and charged him with breaking into cars near the Washington and School street area. And now they're trying to return what he allegedly took to their rightful owners.
"If you notice items missing from your car such as change or other small items of value, please call to report it and we hopefully can reunite you with your valuables," said police in a statement.
